In Lieu of Strippers...

Man, did I ever have a blast at my bachelor party! Steve and my pops orchestrated a great night of beer, pool, (sometimes ) great tunes, good grub, and group prayers that the roof of the North Bend Hotel would hold. The crew was a mix of old-time friends, relatives, and "them from New York." I couldn't have asked for better company to celebrate this momentous occassion. Thanks to everyone who had anything to do with the night.
